Happy Halloween week! Hopefully your pumpkins are carved, treats are bought, and you have your best Richard Simmons costume ready to go. Halloween week is a fun week with all of the decorations, kiddos running around in their costumes, and the seemingly never-ending candy bowls. Although delicious, the extra treats can be detrimental to your […]

Happy (almost) middle of October! I’m hoping you had as fantastic of a weekend as I did and were able to get out and enjoy the weather. It’s a good thing I was able to enjoy the weather this previous weekend because if we have more Packer football games like we encountered yesterday, my poor […]

Hey friends! Wednesday already?! End of August?! Summer is FLYING by! If you’re like me, your weekdays and weekends are crammed full of every activity under the sun. My weekdays are filled with swim team, work, classes, and the occasional eating and sleeping; even less on the sleeping because I love to eat! Although eating, […]

Most of us are ready to say goodbye to the ice, snow, and cold. Icy conditions can contribute to a slip hazard. When that happens to you, it’s easy to want to stay inside until the Spring thaw. But inactivity can be equally harmful. If you or someone you know would like to overcome a […]

“I will take better care of my diabetes.” Diabetes is a scary diagnosis because it is about more than just blood sugars.
